How to run locally

Install dependencies

yarn install
OR
npm install

Setup authentication

In src/App.js, set the following parameters for authentication:

const publicKey = '<YOUR_IMAGEKIT_PUBLIC_KEY>';
const urlEndpoint = '<YOUR_IMAGEKIT_URL_ENDPOINT>';
const authenticationEndpoint = 'http://localhost:3001/auth';

Required parameters are urlEndpoint and publicKey. The authenticationEndpoint parameter is optional and only needed if you want to use the SDK for client-side file upload.

You can get the value of URL-endpoint from your ImageKit dashboard. API public key can be obtained from the developer section in your ImageKit dashboard.

Run the React app

yarn start
OR
npm start

Open the page at http://localhost:3000.

Setup dummy backend for upload

Set the following keys in server/index.js

const imagekit = new ImageKit({
  urlEndpoint: '<YOUR_IMAGEKIT_URL_ENDPOINT>',
  publicKey: '<YOUR_IMAGEKIT_PUBLIC_KEY>',
  privateKey: '<YOUR_IMAGEKIT_PRIVATE_KEY>',
});

All these parameters are required. API private key can also be obtained from the developer section in your ImageKit dashboard.

Please note that file upload will only work if, along with the above, you have also defined YOUR_IMAGEKIT_PUBLIC_KEY, YOUR_IMAGEKIT_URL_ENDPOINT, and YOUR_AUTHENTICATION_ENDPOINT variables in src/App.js.

Run the Node.js server

cd server
node index.js

Node server will run at http://localhost:3001.
